Ali Baba and his wife then measured the gold, and buriedit in the ground ; and when Cassim's wife received backthe measure, she found a piece of gold sticking to thesuet. She told Cassiiu, who persuaded his brother totell him the secret of the cave, and went next day to gettreasure for himself. He entered the cave by saying," Open, Sesame ; " but when he was ready to depart,having gathered many bags together, he could not thinkof the magic words, and so was obliged to remain in thecave till the robbers returned, who, enraged at having hadtheir secret discovered, killed him, and cut his body intofour quarters, hanging ihi-m inside the cave. Ca.ssim's

^^^^^^^wife, finding that her husband did not return, went totell AH Baba, who at once set off to go to the cave, andon entering it discovered his brother's remains, which hecurled home on one of his asses, loading the other twowith bags of gold. AH Baba then buried the body, andcontrived, with the assistance of an intelligent slavenamed Morgiana, to make everv one believe that Cassimhad died a natural death. AH Baba then married thewidow, and became very rich and prosperous.

Meanwhile the forty robbers visited their cave, and find-ing that Cassim's body had been removed, determinedaot to rest until they had discovered their enemy ; and

'I he Captain then wentinto the town himself, and having found and carefullyobserved Ah Halm's house, returned to his men, andordered them to buy nineteen mules and thirty-eightleathern jars, one full of oil and the rest empty.

So when the captain gave the sig-nal to his men, none of them appeared, and going tothe jars he found them all dead; so he went his wayfull of rage and despair, and returned to the cave,and there formed a project of revenge.
